1912 chilean mauser chambered 7mm mauser

I replied 8 days ago on a military 7x57 rifle to buy. Magical anti-gravity aside that 300 WSM is a fine long-range cartridge, but I'd guess such casual understanding of ballistics doesn't bode well for his shooting ability. 300 Winchester Short Magnum doesn't drop at all for the first 300 yards and is therefore well-suited to extreme long ranges. One fellow tried to convince me that his. Most of the guys I've seen with superloudengoboomers chambered in fire-breathing long range cartridges couldn't shoot well enough to take advantage of them anyway.

My personal maximum would be about 300 yards except perhaps for very rare circumstances, and for this old curmudgeon the 7x57 is ideal. Those 139 gr Hornadys give perfect results on game and I couldn't imagine a better combination for deer hunting in WI farm country where ranges run from very close to as far as you care to try. All of this means it's an easy and reliable 300 yard deer rifle, with modest recoil and mild report but plenty of power. That load also delivers equal or even slightly higher energy at 300 yards when compared to 150. The trajectory matches factory 150 gr 30-06 loads but with slightly less recoil. Hornady spire point very close to 2900 with no pressure problems at all. It's a consistent sub-MOA rifle and can easily handle being loaded much hotter than the weak commercial loads sold by American ammunition companies.
